View story Monbiot.com » Choose Life 20 / 7 http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2000/06/09/choose-life/ Submitted by schlach 62 months, 1 week, 3 days ago An excellent essay warning young graduates of the dangers of mortgaging their freedom for financial security and a lifestyle of materialism. Highly recommended.

Avg: Agree | Agree:1 / Disagree:0 / Boring:0 / Irrelevant:0 / Troll:0 | Sign in Email: Password: This piece is excellent food for thought. The first thought that occurred to me was "Are student loans in the US a form of indentured servitude?" It guarantees that young graduates must find the highest paying job available, rather than whatever their idealism and passion would take them towards. Soon, they become entrenched in the lifestyle of materialsm, such that, even after a few years, they would no longer want to give it up to go rekindle their earlier passions if it meant working for a reduced wage.
